Someday We'll Have Very Good Manners

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Demarest. A young boy declares that even though he and his sister know how to behave properly, "for now, we're just kids!" The text enumerates good manners, such as taking turns and using a napkin, while the cartoony pictures show what is really happening--lots of pushing and impatience. The illustrations are a good match for the text's light tone, but the book seems to undercut its own purpose by dismissing manners as something for adults.
